Learning in fixed rows
Look at the desks, the board and the teacher’s position. Compare the view, writing posture and heating with a present-day classroom, without attributing every object to Kieviet’s own class.
Dik Trom was created next to the school
Kieviet wrote in the schoolmaster’s house, which cannot be visited. Use letters or explanations to connect the authorship to the place, not the closed house itself.
One classroom, a limited season
The small display invites you to look at details up close. The seasonal schedule has not been directly confirmed; check before you set off whether the little school is open on your day.
Before you go
Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday 12:30–16:30 is listed as the schedule. Have the current seasonal opening and any option to visit by appointment confirmed before you set off.
